Pacers' Paul George helped community center in major way

I am writing to express my complete joy and humble appreciation to Paul George of the Indiana Pacers for what happened on April 23. As a result of being named the NBA's Most Improved Player, Paul was awarded a KIA Sorento LX CUV to be donated to his charity of choice. To our great surprise, he designated Hawthorne Community Center as the recipient of that vehicle. We cannot express how much this gift means for our agency, a thriving community center that depends on donations, which most generally consist of used furniture, canned food items, recycled computers, surplus office supplies and once even a live turkey given the day before Thanksgiving.

We are so proud to be associated with such wonderful people as the Pacers who support the Indianapolis community in so many ways. Our sincere gratitude goes out to Paul George and everyone else who made this fantastic event possible.

We look forward to having Paul come to Hawthorne in the near future to visit with our children and to see, firsthand, how we improve the lives of the individuals and families served by our organization.
